<p>This took me quite a bit longer to write up than I thought it would: <a href="https://github.com/nikomatsakis/project-ffi-unwind/pull/17" target="_blank" title="https://github.com/nikomatsakis/project-ffi-unwind/pull/17">https://github.com/nikomatsakis/project-ffi-unwind/pull/17</a></p>
<p>I don't know whether this is a good model for future discussion-summaries. I had planned to write something like this fairly regularly (and writing it weekly would certainly make it easier, since the discussions would be fresher in my mind). But it's a lot of work, and it's unclear what the level of detail would be.</p>
<p>There were two additional issues: first, I don't understand everything that was discussed. For instance, I see that there's some concern about how <code>pthread</code> error-handling interacts with <code>catch_unwind</code>, but I didn't have time to fully investigate the details. Second, I don't know how successful I was in avoiding bias; for instance, I don't really understand <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="126931">@centril</span>'s concerns about letting <code>extern "C"</code> functions unwind, so it's possible that that section in my summary isn't fairly presented.</p>

<p>I'm looking now</p>

<p>btw, that is always a challenge with summaries --</p>

<p>this is why, for contentious things, I generally prefer to write the sumamry in a hackmd / paper doc, and then send it to the other party</p>

<p>anyway, I did find it helpful to read that, but I can believe that it's too much work</p>

<p>I think going topic-by-topic rather than chronologically would help somewhat. I only went chronologically because I wanted to make sure I covered everything going back to around the time you told me that there was a lot of discussion you hadn't yet caught up on <span aria-label="laughing" class="emoji emoji-1f606" role="img" title="laughing">:laughing:</span></p>
